lol you could have fooled me with your weird backwards logic


Because I think the Lakers have the better package and group of players when Tatum isn’t involved?... Got it.

Same guy who says Smart can't shoot every chance he can is also the same guy who was so happy to hear the news that the Celtics were talking with Rozier about coming back next year. Pretty funny that Marcus shot better than Rozier last year, and of course, finished 1st team All-Defense. But sure, "no one wants Marcus Smart". :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


I like Rozier and hope the Celtics retain him.

Rozier is a better shooter than Smart.

I don’t believe the Pelicans really want Smart given where they are in the rebuild.

Smart isn’t a good shooter.

What is so wrong with these statements?


Smart > Rozier.

Windy on SC - pelicans don’t like the lakers offer which is why the lakers are shopping the #4 pick around. Pelicans are serious about making a move now


I've said it many times that I some people on here might be shocked as to how the Lakers young players are valued. Brown/Tatum/Horford(Horfie does help a ton) together got us to the ECF, the Lakers young guys never sniffed 40 wins so far, even with queen James.
Good assessment:

Naw. KG trade was first ddb (told me in private) and the Kingsly broke it on the site. But you got the Gomes part right from his side of the story anyways. He did send me a pic of him and Gomes. But players take pics with fans all the time so who knows.


IIRC, this is how KG went down for the rest of the board:

-Celtics get screwed in the lottery. ddb makes a a cryptic post saying something like "Don't worry. A plan is being unleashed to bring the Celtics to title contention sooner rather than later"
-a random poster, during the 3rd week of July, came in and said something like "Hey guys, this is going to sound crazy, but I was in Minnesota and was at a bar. I spoke to someone who claimed to work for the Timberwolves and he said that KG was going to get traded to Boston".
-I think most of us were skeptical, because it seemed so random. Enter kingsly, Al's buddy who also ran his website (someone said he was Al's cousin, but I've never been able to verify.
-kingsly shook our board with one post - "There's some truth to this"
-when pressed further on the matter, he disclosed that Al had received a call from Ainge a few days ago telling him he had been traded, and then thanked him for his contributions as a Celtic

A few people made some good coin because I think the odds of the Celtics winning the title that year were, and I'm guessing here, either 100/1 or 1000/1. I wish I had placed money down at that time. Oh well.


I made some decent money. This is not my first username here. But could have sworn CT had this deal on draft night and the DDB had it after.

Not to mention Lonzo has been a glass player these past 2 seasons. Has he played 60 games in any of his first 2 seasons? Also a horrendous shooter. So he has flaws and is injury prone. Ingram, while having a solid second half to his season has blood clot issues and side by side compared to Tatum, Tatum is virtually better than him at pretty much anything. Kuzma plays zero defense, is oldest of the bunch so he’s not a player you should be super high on. Tatum, Brown, and Smart are better players. I think the Kyrie stuff and having a logjam with so many players needing to get minutes kind of hurt Tatum and brown. They’re easily the better players between the 2 teams and the pelicans would be stupid not to be more interested in Boston’s package.

I've said it many times that I some people on here might be shocked as to how the Lakers young players are valued. Brown/Tatum/Horford(Horfie does help a ton) together got us to the ECF, the Lakers young guys never sniffed 40 wins so far, even with queen James.

Lakers are probably trying hard to get Beal in the offer

Still

Brown
Smart
Mem future pick

Right or wrong, Pelicans want to win games now. Smart is good as a backup to Holiday and someone that can play alongside him for 12 MPG.

Smart has been a good free throw shooter throughout his career and often players like that can eventually hit 3's at an okay rate. And this year he showed signs of being a good 3 point shooter. 36.4% on decent volume is good for a first team all defensive team player.

If Pelicans want to actually win and make playoffs while not blowing the budget in the medium term, Smart is a very good addition at his contract. Very good player and tradeable player.

Smart's TS% this year was a career high 56.8%. Yes, he did struggle shooting from 3 most of the other years but Stevens all but said he improved as a shooter the year before but it was hidden do to his hand injury.....

It is fair to say Smart is not a scorer at all but the Raptors are showing you only need one big time scorer if you team defends. Smart can be a poor man's Draymond Green on defense and a better version of Green on offense.

Is Smart the ideal compliment to Zion and Holiday? I don't think so but he isn't a poor one either. And becomes a better fit if Pelicans decide at some point to trade Holiday.

Personally speaking I think Pelicans best option for winning championships is just trading Davis for a bunch of picks as far out in the future as possible from a variety of teams and trade Holiday for picks as well but for financial reasons and frustration with Davis, they probably don't want to take that option.

I would actually bet on Holiday, Smart, Tatum, Zion etc contending for a playoff spot in the west next year. They may make noise much faster than expected. I am not expecting miracles from Zion but he may contribute right away since its not like the guy has to add weight/gain athleticism.

Damn that's a lot of picks but this years picks aren't that valuable so it's probably not enough.
